While I already have a fairly small wardrobe, I love a good wardrobe challenge. Last year, I participated in the Fall 10×10 and Summer 10×10 and found that both challenges were an opportunity to get creative with my wardrobe and discover new outfit combinations using items I already own.
This month, I’m super excited to participate in the May 30×30 Capsule Wardrobe Challenge, hosted by Petra Alexandra. For this challenge, I chose 30 items from my wardrobe that I will be styling to create 30 outfits for 30 days. I’ll be posting all of my outfits over on my Instagram @thenordnest if you’d like to follow along! Also check out the hashtag #May30x30 to see everyone’s amazing outfits.
My Picks
For my May 30×30 picks, I chose several of my year-round wardrobe favourites as well as some of my seasonal spring and summer pieces that I recently pulled out of storage. Further, I’ve included some items that are new to me; I can’t wait to style these and this challenge is a great way to explore how they can be incorporated into my existing closet. Below, I’ve linked all items that are still available.
